Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint
find slope
slope between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
given
(-3,5) and (1,1)
slope=(5-1)/(-3-1)=4/-4=-1
y=-1x+b
find b
when x=1, then y=1
1=-1(1)+b
1=-1+b
add 1
2=b
y=-x+2
Answer: yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 10.6
Step-by-step explanation: it has a .3% increase each time, therefore it would be D. 10.6
Answer:
19
----- = x
40-3a
Step-by-step explanation:
3(ax + 9) = -4 (-2 - 10x)
Distribute
3ax +27 = 8+40x
Subtract 3ax from each side
3ax-3ax +27 = 8+40x-3ax
27 = = 8+40x-3ax
Subtract 8 from each side
27-8 = 8-8+40x-3ax
19 = 40x-3ax
Factor an x on the right side
19 = x(40-3a)
Divide each side by 40-3a
19/(40-3a) = x(40-3a)/(40-3a)
19
----- = x
40-3a
Let 
be the line that passes through both points.
We know that 
and 
. So:
Solving the system, we get that a= -1 and b = 6.
So the line is equal to 
.
